A simply beautiful entrance foyer is further indication that this is a very special home. Granite flooring with deep green detailing, french washed walls in a soft gold and purpose built cabinets with marble tops set the scene. To the left double doors lead to the casual living area, to the right is formal lounge and ahead a wall of glass behind the staircase provides a delightful view of the entertaining court and roman style swimming pool. This fantastic sun trap enhances the feeling of space and is furnished with a comfortable chair and reading material. The formal lounge is traditionally decorated in cream and soft green tones with a fireplace flanked by built in cabinetwork. Elegant silk drapes, a brass chandelier and accent lighting along with subtle paint finishes to pick up the exceptional cornice and joinery detail are features not only in this room, but throughout the home. As you look about, subtle variations of the cream and green decor theme with the stunning granite and marble accents add to the cohesive feel of the design.
Double doors open from the foyer to another stunning living and entertaining area. Here large windows overlook the pool court, there is a discreet curved granite bar with fitted cabinets for glassware, a sitting space with more cabinets to house television and sound equipment, a casual eating area and superb adjoining kitchen. Granite benches match the floor; there is an island bench in the centre with a second sink and breakfast space and top of the range appliances including 5 burner gas hotplates, integrated fridge and dishwasher. As would be expected, there are masses of ingeniously fitted cabinets and a big corner window giving the cook a connection with the garden. Unusually, the formal dining room is linked to this more casual space but with close proximity to the kitchen and a spectacular design, it is one of the many highlights of the home. A soaring curved wall of glass dressed with silk drapes and French doors to access a perfectly landscaped court with water fountain, is one focal point. The other is a magnificent chandelier hanging directly over the round table. At night with lights playing on the fountain, the room takes on a distinctly romantic feel.
Behind the kitchen are the service areas. There's a large laundry with built in wine store and direct access to a drying and service court complete with bin storage, all neatly hidden from view. A powder room is opposite and there is direct access to the double garage. Here, double doors open to the central pool court so the space can be utilised for large parties. There is built in storage and a pool room housing all the equipment as well as the OzVac system.
The perfectly executed pool courtyard is really the hub of this home. The pool looks inviting with emerald blue tiles, mosaic tile water feature and spa to one side and can be used all year round with solar heating in summer and gas heating in winter to take the temperature to 24 degrees Celsius. Several walls feature delightful frescos created by Clive Holden and there is a dedicated barbecue area under cover near the kitchen as well as space for a large table and chairs for alfresco dining. Integrated music and mood lighting complete the picture.
The spectacular master bedroom wing on the ground level can be completely closed off from other activityand includes a generous study with fireplace fitted with a gas fire and built in timber storage and bookcases either side. French doors open to another private court. The bedroom has smoky mirrors behind the bed reflecting the light from the pool court. At the end of the bed, a magnificent cabinet houses a remote control pop-up TV. Beautifully finished built in furniture
